Fans ask Deportivo for an experienced centre-back before deadline

The transfer window closes this Tuesday at 23:59, and while Deportivo largely considers its squad set, the public doesn’t fully see it as done. As Sport notes, Fernando Soriano (football director) says the squad is practically closed, but there’s still room for another move according to supporters. The club has made eight signings, and the latest one—Adama Traoré—hasn’t yet made his debut and has only been in A Coruña for a few days.

Before the Deportivo–Valencia match, Sport gathers the views of Blanquiazul fans at Riazor. The most repeated request is straightforward: add an experienced centre-back. Several supporters argue that the defensive structure can improve and that a veteran would help “pull the team” and provide more security.

The recurring request

In recent days, one name gathered attention: Juan Jesús. However, the article points out that his situation seems likely to continue in Italy.

Other needs as well

The demand isn’t limited to one position. Aarón López (and his father) believe that besides a left-sided centre-back, a midfielder is also needed—while they stress the importance of getting injured players back to have the squad ready for the season. Sport also reflects the idea that, even with Bright Ede and Noubi performing well, the team still lacks that extra experience, with fans expecting the possibility of one more signing before the deadline.
